The Burpster replied to Prosebass's topic in Completed Items
CanI have the iPhoto and OSX10.3 restore disk please? Bob. -
No as sadly I dont own any Warwicks (BTW that doesnt mean I wont at some point!) But I'm surprised you cant get the washers...... Could you try and source then from somewhere else? what size are they?

Get no arguments from here...... Nice looking piece of kit...... (athough I'm biased as I love a nice bit of Swampy..... )

[quote name='OldGit' post='315889' date='Oct 27 2008, 03:28 PM']I had one like this. I watched my Luthier do it once. He took the neck off, with the strings still wound on They were loosened off but not right off the capstans, He just flipped it over, took the neck screws out enough to disengage the neck heel, "cocked" the neck so the adjuster was accessible at the beck of the body, tweaked it just the right amount, put it back in and tightened the screws and strings .. Took about 4 minutes ...[/quote] Thats great when you are experienced and confident, and yes I do my guitarists fenders (strat and tele) like that (bloody things always seem to need tweaking one way or another very time we change strings) [u][b]BUT [/b][/u] I'm not sure it wise to advocate a noob trying this first time...... Unless I'm missing something....?

I have just concluded a quite expensive and time consuming transaction with this [b][i]gent[/i][/b] ...... I dont use that word lightly, a nicer and more genuine person you will struggle to come across. Thank you Gareth!

[quote name='Pissman' post='316189' date='Oct 27 2008, 09:40 PM']Was just wondering outa curiosity...what do you gain from having a fretless bass? Or a headless? (Apart from looking good) Another one....how loud can acousto-electrics go? A third random question!...How does the sounds change as the neck scale increases/decreases? This is mainly because I'm wanting to get another bass somewhen soon...when money appears....and wanted it to be 'different' Is it true that red basses make you play faster? And finaly...how are you today?[/quote] 1. More GAS and lotsa strings..... Lots more GAS 2. as loud as your amp of course..... duh. 3. if youve got a scaly neck, i wouldnt be worried about how it sounds I suggest you get to the doctor.... 4. if you want to be different play drums, most drummers I've met aren't human 5. red basses only make you play faster if teh red is yoru ownblood and you want ot get the set done so that you can get stiches.... 6. I'm +++kin ace, I've just won my 1st table tennis match after a 30 year break.....

Top bannana..... Great to do business with.... Bob.

BM arrived... thnks and feedback left.... -
Aaaaahhh this topic has been covered before I'm sure but teh ones with holes in are slightly different make, IIRC sourced out parts but Shergold designed..... IMO still worth £250 if its in good knick and yo like that 'retro' thing..... .
-
Ouch this is really hard....... I do like and own natural basses...... But IMHO EVERTHING looks good in black, so thats what I voted for.

On hold pending payment......

Look for a Highway 1 and get the best of both worlds...... IMHO FWIW
-

-
Bugger.... Didnt want to and wasnt expceting to hear that...... May have to look at other options now.....

Wasnt there a thread about this very bass sometime back..... Someone on here had a friend or tutor (somthing like that) that bought a brand new stingray and painted it puke colours

Anyone any experience of Moses necks? [url="http://www.mosesgraphite.com/index.html"]http://www.mosesgraphite.com/index.html[/url] In lieu of PRS not being able to make me a fretless neck (without charging space-shot type fees) I'm toying with speccing a neck and ordering it from these.....

Sunday PM bump......
-
Aaaahhh so you point out..... But IIRC they have over 150000 satisfied customers so what do we know....... My advice FWIW is steer clear of the place, or go in and look around but certainly dont engage them in conversation, they are cretins.

I'm coming down to London Wednesday I could bring it with me.......

Folks as much as I enjoyed putting this together and sampling the results, life is never straightforward and its go to go to make way for my newest addition. I was going to keep this but my passion for PRSs got the better of me. There is a thread in build diaries about it..... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=18771&hl=highway"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...&hl=highway[/url] but to save you trawling it heres the spec...... 1x late 2007 black Highway 1 P & 1. Black Hipshot A style Bridge 2. Black Hipshot Ultralight clover tuners x3 3. Black Hipshot Ultralight Clover D tuner 4. Black Hipshot 3 string tree 5. Graphtec Trem nut 6. Gotoh black chrome jack plate 7. Fender black neck plate. 8. Bartolini 8CBP pick ups. 9. switchcraft electrics 10. custom made (by me) 5 ply black pickguard. 11. Black Schaller strap locks I'm afriad all the original parts are now with other BCers and happy..... This is a Marmite bass, and I appreciate that, however I can guarantee you it is pretty unique and generates a tone I find very pleasing. It'll come with a new Moulded (2007) Fender HSC and a new blk Levys strap. Price.... £450 +P&P or pickup or meet I'm easy. Any issues or questions get in touch.

Hmm I like that pitchblack and having a small pedal board, makes me wonder if I should have got one of them instead of the DT10
-
